Hi Nancy,
You're the one from Jersey, right? A long time ago
you posted about a Jersey-style hotdog. I may be in
Jersey next fall on vacation. Where's the best Jersey
dog to be had?
Thanks,
Kate

I haven't had one of those in a while, I might have to find
one next week sometime, now I have a hankering.

Having said that, I just get them from my local pizza place, but
as I understand it, Jimmy Buff's is the place to go? I don't know
where you're going to be but here are the locations:

The Italian hot dogs I remember were stuffed into a pocket bread made of
pizza dough. They had sauteed peppers and onions and fried potatoes. I
liked mine with mustard.

They were my primary source of nutrition when I was carrying my eldest
child.

That was an interesting watch but after seeing it I don't understand
why anyone would pick on Chicago style dogs.

No, I don't know why deep dish is even called pizza, but I don't
actually care about it one way or another since I don't have to
eat it. So I guess you could say it's the former.

> I love chicago dogs. And deep dish pizza lol.

I didn't see any hotdogs when I was in Chicago, so I've never tried
one and I don't think I've heard anything about them that would
put me off.

I lived here for a long time before I heard of them, but then, I don't
live in north jersey. They're good. I only get one very rarely.

Same here. Deep dish "pizza" is something totally different than pizza.

They add slices of pickle and tomato and peppers. Just totally different
than the typical minimalist dog with some mustard and a little onion
that "right coast" folks know as a hot dog.

I think it's actually more a pie and many people in Chicago do call it
a pizza pie. I've seen menus that call it deep dish pie with no
reference to pizza but the thin crust is called pizza. Nobody is
oblivious to the fact that it's nothing like what's served in Italy.
Call it pizza, a pie, or hotdish, a good one is delicious. But it's
a myth to think that's all we eat here. Thin crust outsells deep dish
and as people become more health conscious even the places famous for
deep are selling more and more thin and perfecting their product.
You'd be surprised how many people here think deep dish is a sacrilege
to pizza or at best a messy plate of food.

Here's two short articles if anyone wants to know the truth.

People say they're "dragged through the garden" because they've got
several different flavors on them. I love them but a dog with kraut
or a chili cheese dog is also a wunnerful thing. I'd even try the
Jersey dog but the potato thing seems kinda weird. There's a few
places here that put the dog on the paper and pile the fries on and
wrap it up together. I like my fries on the side with ketchup.

yeah, but many people in new york or jersey or other thin-crust realms also
refer to pizza as 'pie' - as in 'sos-and-so's makes a good pie.'

ROFLMAO. That's so fooched up. Anyone with even half a brain knows
thin crust is pizza and Chicago deep dish is Italian style
Americanized pig-slop-pizza-pie-casserole/hotdish served with proper
condiments.

In other words it don't friggin matter. I don't think I've ever heard
anyone here complaining about thin crust but those east coast folks
who tawk funny constantly bitch about deep dish. nancy's got the
right idea. Don't like it don't eat it. At least we've got the
culture to use a fork and knife instead of folding it over and eating
like knuckle draggers.

Well, we'll be staying in Atlantic City but will be ranging
far afield to see various sights. NJ isn't all that big.
But we'll probably mostly be in the southern half. And then
Come home via Delaware so I can cross them off my list. Then

I seem to remember Nancy raving about those a couple of years
ago and I wondered who she thinks makes the best ones.

Thanks, Nancy. We're staying in Atlantic City (or very near it - my
sister is getting a timeshare trade at the Marriott). But we may
be all over the state depending on what I find that I want to see
or do while there. But probably mostly in the southern half of the
state.

I'll check out Jimmy Buff's.

That's good to know. It may come in handy what with the lousy mileage
my car gets and the currently high gas prices. Where do you go to
apply? ;-)

Thanks. It's not 100% sure we're going there yet, my sister has to
see if she can get the trade for the time-share. But I'm hoping.
Sheesh! Never thought I'd actually want to go to NJ? ;-)

The better pizza's out here on the west coast don't need to be folded.
They are made with a nice firm but not hard crust. Just pick it up and
gobble it down.

Thanks, Andy. I know about the ferry. Will probably take it.
Sounds like fun. I've taken ferries before - the one to the Outer
Banks is nice and then there's the one across Lake Champlain.
Ferries rule!

I saw your post yesterday but didn't have time to reply. Last night I
fell asleep on the couch (as usual) and woke up to a segment on pizza
on ABC's World News Now. They brought a NY pizza into the studio and
one of the camera or tech guys folded it and Vinita Nair laughed and
commented it was such a NY thing. I laughed to myself, thought of
this thread, and fell back to sleep lusting over Vinita.

I really don't care anyone eats their pizza as long as they enjoy it.

Thin crust around here is cut in squares and not like a pie. I don't
think you could fold it.

No knife and fork, or folding, for me. Just pick it up and enjoy!

one summer i worked at a pizza joint (in maryland) where the owner made
rectangular pies cut in squares. you bought it by the number of squares
you wanted, and many people couldn't quite grasp the concept. (dub's pizza
on rockville pike, for you locals.)

Nothing to "see", but lots of places to eat!

It still has that cute "downtown". Bradley Ogden isn't cooking at
Lark Creek Inn, but his group still owns it.

True thin crust is crispy and it can't be folded. If you can fold the
crust then what you have is regular or medium crust not thin crust.
Each style is unique and all of them are good when done carefully with
good ingredients.

It's a sleepy little town. I'm trying to remember if there are stores
on both sides of the road. Nope. Can't remember.

It's up hill and across the freeway from the ferry dock in Larkspur
Landing. You wouldn't have found it unless you took a wrong turn or
had a friend who lived there.
